Achievements in Last Period

  • Adam now facilitating weekly meetings between FNS and super users in Labs / Reception / Accounts / Pharmacy / DI.

  • FNS have delivered most main features for HFSA, with no major showstoppers; Must Do functionality currently available for review / testing include Discount management, Internal referrals, Clinical notes, Discharge notes, Student note log, batch numbers for Counter Sales, Microbiology results approval, Diagnostic Imaging from linked appointments, several accounting modifications.
  • Confirmation that the session settings can be set and locked down in the kiosk browsers to ensure that the University’s security policy can be enforced.
  • FNS now committed to launch of Provet Cloud in HFSA in November. Delivery to be done in 2 tranches of features: MVP1 and MVP2 w/c 27/08/18 and 17/09/18 to enable R(D)SVS staff to test features, feed back to FNS and allow sufficient time for rework as required for November launch.

Issues

  • Concerns remain on availability of key staff to cover critical aspects of the project especially coordinating UAT; Sue Murphy is aware of this so no escalation necessary at this stage.
  • Security issue impacting on the launch in HFSA (see item 27); Senior Supplier dealing with this issue; no escalation required at this point.
  • Further extensions to the project timeline will require additional budget for IS Apps effort; PM and Senior Supplier will discuss with Project Sponsor, no escalation necessary at this stage.

Next Steps

  • Working to revised plan: R(D)SVS staff to complete testing (coordinated by Business Lead) of MVP1 and MVP2 features ahead of a Go / No Go decision in October for the HFSA launch in November.
  • Review project plan, timeline, estimates for next Project Board 20/09/18.
